Keith Carnal returns to his Second Degree imprint to deliver the label’s sixth EP, delivering four fresh productions.
An artist at the heart of The Netherlands’ rich techno scene, Amsterdam-based DJ and producer Keith Carnal continues to impress delivering stand out material via the likes of ARTS and Bpitch alongside remixes for Ellen Allien and more. A curator and tastemaker of the genre, Carnal also helms his Second Degreeimprint, launched in late 2018 and home to his own solo material. Following on from the labels impressive fifth instalment earlier this year, he returns to round out the year on home turf as he drops four new productions combining slick grooves and infectious vocals with his signature tough yet vibrant sonics.
Opening cut ‘Chauvanistic Pigs’ welcomes the arrival of a hypnotic, entrancing cut as pacy drums and icy hats guide tripped out vocals and warping synths, while ‘Einfach’ keeps the energy levels high as tough kicks go to work beneath sweeping leads and tumbling atmospherics. Next, ‘Sitting Around’ fuses ebbing with wonky acid lines and eerie core melodies, before closing via the emphatic soundscapes of the aptly titled ‘Happy But Sad’.
